Syntax#
# plot_curve(
pdf_file = None ,
plot_title = None ,
plot_limit = None ,
plot_data = None ,
# )
pdf_file#
This argument can’t be None
.
It is a str
containing the location where the
pdf file containing the plot will be placed.
plot_title#
This argument can be None
.
It is a str
title printed at the top of every plot.
plot_limit#
This argument can’t be None
.
It is a dict
with the following keys:
age_min#
is a float
containing the minimum age in the plot region.
age_max#
is a float
containing the maximum age in the plot region.
time_min#
is a float
containing the minimum time in the plot region.
time_max#
is a float
containing the maximum time in the plot region.
plot_data#
This argument can’t be None
.
It is a dict
where each element is a list
.
The key for the dictionary is the name of the value z being plotted.
For each z_name is in plot_data ,
z_list = plot_data [ z_name ]
is a list
.
Each element of this list is a dict
with the following keys:
'age'
, 'time'
, 'value'
.
In addition, it may also contain the key 'std'
.
age#
For each row in z_list , row [ 'age'
]
is the age corresponding to this value of z .
time#
For each row in z_list , row [ 'time'
]
is the time corresponding to this value of z .
For each age value in a z_list ,
the set of time value must be the same; i.e.,
the set of age an time values form a rectangular grid.
value#
For each row in z_list , row [ 'value'
]
is the value of z .
All of these values must be non-negative and they must
not all be zero.
std#
For each row in z_list , row [ 'std'
]
is the standard deviation corresponding to this value of z .
This key is optional. It appears for one element of a z_list ,
it must appear for all the elements of the z_list .
This can change between different z_name values.
Furthermore, it this appears, it will be plotted and it must not be all zero
(for one z_list ).
